This very extensive and beautifully-designed edifice, which has been in the course of erection since the spring of 1849, it so nearly completed as to leave no doubt that in a few days it will be fit for the reception of inmates. Tlie grand inauguration will, however, it is understood, be delayed till tlie ensuing spring, at which his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who the foundation stone in May, 1819, is expected to officiate. The site of the structure is on an elevated and salubrious SOIRBJS TO MR. GEO ROB THOMPSON, M.P. A valedictory toirU to Mr.

George Thompson, M.P. for the Tower Hamlets, previous to his embarkation for the United States of America, came oil at the Loudon Tavern, Biahopsgate-street, last night. At the commencement of the entertainment the large room was about thrse parts filled by the political and private friends of the hon. gentleman, bat as the evening advanced the number was greatly angmented a very large proportion consisting of females. Sir Joshua Walmsley, president of the National Reform Association, occupied the chair, supported by Mr.

Thompson, Mr. John Williams, M.P. for Macclesfield. Mr. Tiudal Atkinson, Mr.

II. J. Slack, Mr. Serle, Mr. Le Blond, Mr.

John Wade, Mr. William Allen, Mr. Tborold Wood, Mr. H. J.

Brown, Mr. Thwaues, Mr. Passmore Edwards, Mr, Glover Bury), Dr. Oxley, Mr. Deputy Evans, and a host of the lesser celebrities who figure it from time to time upon the parliamentary and financial reform boards.

Tea and cpffee were provided in the ante-room; and the programme of entertainment included several pieces of musical composition, which were well suug by Miss Cubitt, Mrs. Temple, and Mr. Hey caour, accompanied by a pianoforte The party had, as a matter of course, a strong democratic there still remained, in different places, 200 carriages, and 360 horses, tbe property of the King. He immediately gave orders that each member of the Provisional Government should be provided with an equipage for his personal ose, and another or two for his wife and familv. He also ordered that each vehicle should he driven by the best of the King's coachmen, M.

Tirel, as comptroller of the stables, was obliged to obey but he states that he avenged himself by sending to each person carriages and horses whose names formed a sort of epigramme on hia peculiarities or character. Thus M. Ledra Rollin had carriages named the Hebe, the Prince, the Rayal, the Marquise, the Phenix, and horses uamed Fougueux, Celadon, n-trpide, Trompeur, Obatine, Envieux, Hypocrite, Mon-tagnard, Ac; M. Marraet, the Ci-Devant carriage, and tbe Pimpant horses M. Flooon, the Paon coupe, drawn by Chicard and Intrigant, with the Duchess, drawn by Calypso, and Pomard for his wife, and so on.

Nor did M. Tirel content himself merely with these smart satirical hits; he kept a correct account of tbe vehicles and horses each individual had, and for what number of days. In all, it appears that the members of the Provisional Government occupied by themselves or their families ll carriages and 91 horses, and be calculates that each carriage cost 25f. a day, and each saddle horse 15f. Tirel maintains, at some length, that as carriages and horses were the private property of thellate King those who made use of them are bound to pay for them, as they would have done had they belonged to any private individual.

He then gives a list of the sums due by each person. We extract tne following: By M. Ledru Rollin for 5 carriages, 22 horses (no prince of the Royal Family, says M. Terel, ever had so many at one time, and he observes IRELAND. DUBLIN, Wednesday Morning.

JsTCrj jj, MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. (From the ManchttUr of yesterday). Tbe Bombay merchants continue their operations in yarns suitable for that qnarter, at an advance of to i per lb.

upon tbe quotations of this day week. The buyers for the European continent, however, still confine themselves to the execution of small orders for the supply of the immediate wants of their customers. The latest letters received from the Leipsic fair scarcely come up to the expectations previously formed in respect to yarns. It seems, therefore, to be expected that the manufacturers will persevere in their cautious policy of buying only "from band to month;" but as their supplies are scanty and the demand for their cloths good, their purchases from our spinners will necessarily be extended so much the more through the winter, which is attended with little difficulty now, as compared with former years. Hardly anything has been done to-day in the lower and medium counts of warps and cops by the manufacturers in this district, whom a losing trade is driving to a lessened consumption.

Prices are firm in bundles; in warps and eops there is a bias againat the producers, though tbe quotations are generally unchanged. Doubled yarns are stiil neglected; and there is less doing in tbe finer numbers of single, which have hitherto been in great request for Yorkshire aud Russia. The Bombay merchants are still purchasing skirtings and madapollama where their terms are acceded to, whiob, however, are such as are calculated to force on a diminution of tbe production to a greater extent than it has yet been carried, unless the approaching Calcutta msil should lead to an improvement. An increasing resort to the same measure by the makers of other goods seems inevitable, from the ruinous state of prices. The Greeks are further diminishing their business (small as it has latterly been), in consequence of a decline of prices at Constantinople, resulting mainly from advices of an unfavourable turn in the Manchester market.

Adverting to the reDeal of the corn laws, he said that one good thing had been done it was only the beginaing of the end the abolition of the corn laws.

Those issues would not, however, be disastrous. They would only oblige certain gentlemen to turn their attention to the question, bow to gain an honest living.

The time was coming when there wonld be a great and glorious revolution in this country in regard to the administration of landed affairs. There would be no violence, no splistion, no sudden and spasmodic breaking-up of the frame-work of society; but a certain gradual progress towards the elevatioa of tlie people to their proper scale in the community. Wait for that time. Meanwhile, take not one retrograde step. Demand, exclaimed the speaker, demand parliamentary and financial reform, if only to ken free trade.

The spirit of protection is not dead it sleeneth. The Protectionists are still dreaming, and Mr. Chewier is singing Mount, and make ready then, I Sons of the mountain glen, All the free-traders are over the border" (cheers, and laughter). Let the people keep their ground; and the farmer sit, like Patience on a monument," on Pvnch'i monument, a little longer, lamenting over wheat at 45s. a quarter.

Let him sit only a little longer, and he would come down from his monument and join the ranks of the Parliamentary and Financial Reformers. They would be sura to have him. He would be one of the very best grumblers amongst them (a laugh). Yes; they would have the sturdy yeomen of England pouring in their contributions to their exchequer until Mr. Williams would have to work double tides, in order to balance his books (cheers).

After some further observations in the like strain, Mr. Thompson finished his speech amidst loud cheers. The meeting separated about half-past 10 o'clock. WRITKCB. AT fL A SSOClA 2 ION.

A meeting of the Whitechapel Assoclstion for the Promotion of the Health, Comfort, and Cleanliness of the Working Glasses, was held at the room of the Whitechapel Society last night. The Rev.Mr.Champneys, the rector of the parish, took the chair at half-peat seven o'clock. He stated that every tenement in the occupation of the working classes in the district had been visited, some of them several times, daring the past year; and be bore testimony to the efforts made by the working classes to remove the causes of evil that existed as far as lay in their power. The report of the association, as read by Mr. J.

Liddle, was to the effect stated by the rev. gentleman. The paid agent employed by the committee had been, it stated, received uniformly with civility, in many cases with kindness, by the poor people visited. The report went on to state the causes of disease among the poor, which were the oinal ones bad lodging, bad ventilation, little light, imperfect drainage, tnsulncient supply ot water, accumulation of nui-sanees, and filthy habits. Some instances were set forth in which the causes, removable by personal efforts, were removed by the poor people themselves.

Many of the working classes were sensible of the deficiency of their dwellings, and quite willing to keep them clean when it was possible. The report dwelt at some length ou the evils arising from an insufficient supply of water, which in Whitechapel would seem to lie most defective and destructive. There were 91 courts and streets in the district, inhabited by 7000 persona, badly paved, and thus rendered impossible of cleanlinese. A great nnmber of the houses were so dilapidated as to be wholly unfit for human reidence, most ot them being swamped in heavy rains, Several landlords, however, had expressed their readiness to co-operate with the society to remedy this evil. The report adverted to the frightful state of the lodging-houses in the district in one of them '61 pertons were crowded together in a space of 10 feet square men, women, and children, all nearly naked.

The smell was intolerable, as might be expected, and to add to it a huge tub of ordure stood outside the door. The Board of Health state that 700 oubie feet of fresh air was absolutely necessary for life, while the inspectors of prisons allowed 1000 cubic feet; but these poor people had only 20 cubic feet each to breathe in. Disease and vice could not fail to exist in these hot-beds of infamy and filth. The subject, therefore, demanded the interference of the government to restrict the number in these lodging-houses. The report suggested the appointment of a duly qualified parochial inspector for that purpoBs on the part of the government.

Several gentlemen subsequently addressed the meeting. The report was then adopted unanimously, and the meeting separated. BRITISH BBlwFWMXTlJlSTITUTIQN. The first election of annuitants on the funds of this valuable charity was held on Wednesday last, the Right Hon, Lord Erskine presiding. Tlie novel mode of election wai adopted namely, conferring the privilege of voting to the patrons, vice presidents, lady patronesses, and council only, by which the same happy result was achieved without putting the candidates to the enormous expense incident to a canvass of the whole body of subscribers, as well as sparing great physical labour.

The plan gave universal satisfaction and delight, and the honorary secretary and founder, Henry F. Richardson, slated that the practical result of the change met with the highest approval, many of the subscribers having doubled and trebled their annual contributions in testimony of the opinion they entertained of a system overthrowing much undue influence, aud enabling the most friendless to receive without cost the benefit of the society. The cases preaentttl 32 in number were most interesting, being all the widows or daughters of men who have moved in a superior station of life, for this institution is only for such, leaving other societies to relieve the necessities of the trader or his widow. The election concluded at three o'clock, when the noble chairman announced that Mrs. Bradley, Mrs.

S. L. Fitzpatrick, and Miss Cox, had been elected on the funds te receive 30. a year each, should a benevolent public enable the council to dispense it. The Honorary Secretary announced that above 170 persons had very recently enrolled themselves as annual governors; and brief as waa the existence of the charity, its annual income was nearly 400.

The noble President (the Earl of Cardigan), the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Ellearnere, the Earl of Beverley, Lord De Mauley, the Marquis of Staff rd, the Duke of Leeds, the Dowager Duchess of Leeds, Viscount Seabaro, Lord Bateman, Lord Feversham, Lord Headley, Lord Skelmers-dale, Lord Rodney, Sir Charles Burton, Bart, R. Blake-more, M.P., Lady Humble, Sir Charles Ibbotson, and Lady Ibbotson, the Marquis of Thomond, General Daubeny, the Hon. D. Fortescue, A. Raphael, M.P., and numerous others, all voted on this novel and interesting occasion.

The Honorary Secretary announced that her Grace tbe Duchess of Roxburghe, Miss Tylney Long, Ladv Elisabeth Hope Vera, Sir Charles Burton, John Lyal), and a long list of gantry had recently given in their adhesion to the chanty. The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the noble chairman, who gracefully returned thanks, and expressed a hope that the British Beneficent Institution, with its new and admirable mode of election, might be permaneutly successful. On the motion of the Rev. Howell J. Phillips, seconded by tbe Ke v.

W. obns, a very cordial vote of thanks was voted to the founder and honorary secretary, Mr. Richardson. Serious Accident at Muirkirk Ino.v Works, Glasgow. On Friday night, about eleven o'clock, the inhabitants of Muirkirk were thrown into a atate of great alarm by a violent explosion of gas at the blast furnaces near to the village.

At first it was thought that the accident had arisen from the recent application of taking the gases from the furnaces by means of pipes, and conveying it to the heaters aud boilers, thereby saving tbe coal formerly required for heating the air, and raising the steam for the blowing-engine; but a momentary inspectioasbowed that this modern improvement and application had nothing to do with the accident, which arose entirely from gas haviug collected in the heater pipes during a temporary stoppage of the blast, aud flowing into the mam air pipe and receiver, exploded and shattered hem into a thousand pieces, burst in the windows of the engine-house and dwelling-houses near at hand, and carried large pieces of iron into fields in the neighbourhood. An explosion of this kind is, unfortunately, not of unfrequent occurrence in iron works, but seldom causing such serious damage; and, although we have to report one man being killed and another hart, but not severely, it is fortunate that, from the hour when the accident ocourred, so few of the workmen were exposed to the destructive frag ineuta that were projected in all directions by the instantaneous bursting of tbe air pipes and receiver. An express was immediately forwarded to Mr. Wilson, of Dundyran, the principal partner in the Muirkirk Iron Company, and he, arriving on the spot at the earliest possible period, gave instructions and took the necessary steps for getting the works set going without loss ol time. (A DnM Mail.

spot to the eastward of Highgate, aud being surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills, presents a most beautifully picturesque appearance. It is in the Italian style of architecture, with stone coigns and dressings, from a design by S. Diitises, and from its vast extent being in length 1881 feet 8 ioeties, and depth, 670 feet 6 inches (33 feet longer and 260 feet deeper than the building for the exposition of 18aL in Hyde Park); the whole with the grounds occupying lu acres, surrounded by a substantial wall -it has the semblance of a new town this effect being heightened by the anmerous campanile towers with which it is adorned. Nearly 1400 men have been constantly engaged on the building, and it is rendered perfectly fireproof. The total number of rooms, including the chapel, infirmaries, and other offices, are ao less than 987.

The corridors and other portion! are paved with Orei and Armani's patent metallic lava; the centre colonnade with the same material, ornamented like mosaic pavement; and in some places, to relieve the monotony usually produced by the ordinary brown asphalts, a pare white kind has been introduced. The roofing of the terraces and flats is also covered with the metallic lavs, which is perfectly impervious to moisture. For the supply of water an Artesian well has been sunk to the depth of 330 end arrangements are making for manufacturing gas on tbe premises for tbe supply of the building and the neighbouring railway.

The largest room, 112 feet long and "ii feet fj inches in width, is fitted with an orchestra, aud is to be appropriated for bails, concerts, and other amusements for the unfortunate inmates, and will bear the name of the enterUinmeut-room. B. Raich, chairman of the committee, and several county magistrates have paid frequent visits to the works, and expressed unqualified approval of the modern which they have been conducted.

A NEW BXPOSUR6 OF TJ! LATE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF FRAME, i 1 i mi i1 i i Til i i li I (From OtUignani'i Mtstmger. Another work, detailing what took place at the King's stables in the revolution of February, and making svme curious exposures respecting the personages who played the principal part in the revolution, has just been published. It beara the title "La Republiqne daas les Ctrrosses du Roi," and is written by M. Tirel, who had for several years the control of the carriage department of the late King, and who occupied that post wheu the revolution broke out. He relates that in the morning of the fatal 24th of February he was lodged at the King's stables, in the Rue St.

Thomas du Louvre, where orders had been given that he and all the other employe and servants should remain iu the hotel. At about ten o'clock Count de Chabannee, aide de camp of the King, aud Master of tbe Horse, ordered three carriages to be prepared and kept ready to proceed to tne at a moment notice, ine men cnargea to accompany them were ordered to have everything necessary for an absence of several days. The three carriages for tbe King, Queen, and Royal Family were called Saverne," the Moeelle," aud tbe Tamise," and to each uf them eight horses were harnessed. Nine other carriages were also prepared for the attendants. ine cries ot devotedness uttered bv the soldiers as the King and Princes paased them in review caused the persons in the stables (which had been kept closed) to beueve that the carnages would not be wanted but at twelve an order was sent from the Palace for the carriages to go np.

The servant who brought the order had been assailed by tbe bands of insurgents, who were attacking the guard-house of the Chateau d'Eu, on the Plaoe du Palais Royal. The gates of the court-yard having been opened two carriages issued forth, but the mob at that moment attempted to force their way into the court-yard, and the gates had again to be closed. A few instant after a frightful ftriUg was heard tbe insurgents, who were behind the Hotel de Nantes, at tbe entrance to the Rue Rohon, had fired on the carriages, and had killed two horses, and seriously wounded two! The horse of the ont-ridar, a young man, named Hairon, received 12 or 15 balls, and fell dead Hairon ran away towards the l'alace, but a bloodthirsty insurgent advanced towards him, and discharged his gun right in his breast. The unfortunate fellow fell dead, and the assassin took off his gold laced hat, and held it up as a trophy. He called to his fellowe to join him in sharing tbe clothes and effects of the victim, whiob they did forthwith.

Tlie bloody corpse was left with only a shirt to cover it. Meanwhile, other insurgents bad compelled the two carriages to retrograde towards the stables, and on arriving there it appeared that tbe gates bad been forced open by the people. The trace of the horses were cut with swords and knives, and the boots of the carriages, containing the servants' effects, were pillaged; even the whips were stolen. The carriages, which were fitted up with great magnificence, were then crammed full of straw, which was set on fire and they were dragged to the door of the guard-house of the Chateau d'Eu, that the smoke might suffocate the unfortunate soldiers who were defending it. The band by which all this was done was under the direction of a tall, broad-shouldered man, with a large black beard, and who had at his waist an immense sword.

His orders were strictly obeyed. Seeing two carriages bearing the arms of tbe Duke de Wnrtemberg, husband of tbe late Princess Marie (the King's daughter), this fellow cried Respect to tlie carriages of ambassadors and be caused the two vehicles to be placed in a shed, on the door of which he wrote those words in chalk. A tall young woman, whose features bore the marks of intoxication and debauchery, was also one of the chiefs of this band, end ehe began the destruction of the carriage the "Saverne," it was that in which the King ordinarily rode by smashing the glass with the butt end of her musket, and striking the arms or tbe pannels with the bayonet. As the fury was so engaged she shrieked Here, here, my friends, bring lots of straw, for this carriage deserves a good warming." Straw having been brought to her, she shouted, Bring me fire now, and then we will go and pay a little visit to the Tuileries." She applied the fire with her own hand, and then climbed to the coachman's seat, where she squatted herself with her musket beneath her legs A set of fellows then drew the carriage along, amidst yells of triumph, and the crowd through which it passed shouted with frantic enthusiasm. But, to the astonishment of the band, the flames only destroyed the interior of the carriage.

The vehicle having been specially constructed for protecting the King from the attacks of assassins, turned off the bullets which were discharged at it, and resisted the blows which were hurled with stones and the butt-end of muskets. Seeing this, the woman shrieked To the river with it and it wss dragged to the Seine and tossed in. The two other carriages shared tbe same fate. Four or five mouths later they were fished up by orders of tbe functionaries of the civil list and sold as old iron. Meanwhile the mob destroyed every vehicle in the stables.

The court-yard of the Tuileries, the Place du Carrousel, and the Place des Ecaries, were strewed with the remnants of the vehicles. Here and there portions of the wrecks were piled into heaps and set on fire, whilst furious bands danced yelling around them like cannibals over their prey.

Government agents obtained three horses, Portsmouth, Guide, aud Forestier, which were never seen afterwards. In tbe night bands of the insurgents went to the stables and insisted on having wine and food provided for them without delay. One of these bands was commanded by the sexton of the church of Saint Germain PAuxerrois, a man named Villemet. The chiefs also canied money to be given to them. After giviug these details, the author goes on to say that on the Friday following the Revolution an individual, a bandage-maker, named RonBil, who was attired as a National Guard, with a tricolour scarf round his waist, and a sword by hia side, arrived at tbe stables, and stated that the Provisional Government had sent him to take command of them.

He made particular inquiries respecting the carriages, as he said thev were raauired hv bis nolitical friends of the no- vemmenL" He manifested great delight on hearing that tendency, as may be seen from the titles of the following: The People's Anthem," a production of Ebenezer Elliott, "Corn-law Rhymer;" Farewell to a Friend of the People," written expressly for the occasion, by the author of "The Ministry of the Beautiful," and dedicated to Mr. Thompson by Wb. Thqrold Wood; aad, Now Pray we for oar Country? ujbltkx Or'xi ill Vj' The Chairman opened the proceedings by observing that it rjoiced him to see so numerous an assembly of his fair countrywomen present, for it assured him that they were engaged in a right cause. Where the ladies took an interest they might rely that virtue, good sense, and progress would prevail (cheers). The series of meetings, of wbifiU.that was one, bad originated in the necessity, which appeared to the conned of the National Reform Association, of catling together, at least ones a month, the earnest reformers from the various localities in and around toe metropolis, to consult how they might beat promote the great cause which they had at heart, and which he believed to be honest iu the sight of all men --the cause of the people.

Ou the present occasion, they had extended the circle of their operations, for the purpose ef doing honour to a man whom he believed it was the flight of all real reformers to honour (renewed cheers). In his lion, friend's presence he should say little, though, perhaps, there was no man there who felt more tliau he did (hear, hear). He had often experienced the advantage of his hon. friend's counsel, advice, and assistance, in the good work which they had for so long a series of years been trying to promote (cheers). But it was not to this woik alone that he would refer; for all who knew Mr.

Thompson knew that he had laboured in other causes equally virtuous and eriuallr just; that he had laboured in those causes also with success, moreover wun an earnestness, and with an ability, that few could eqnal none surpass (cheers). It had leen his (the chairman's) good fortune to be a fllowlabourr in the vineyard of reform, and somewhat also in that of free trad, but eseciallj in the causa of parliamentary reform. He had witnessed the r.eal of his hon. friend and the electrical power that hi eloquence exercised upon all who listened to him. None had advocated the canse of reform more zealously or more free from personal motives and considerations, notwithstanding everything that mjht have been sid to the contrary (cheers).

In no one instance had his friend taken a fee or reward in the cause in which he and they were engaged (cheers). Fifteen years aco Mr. Thompson paid a visit to the land of the free," as it was wm uewrriu oi me name; but if there were, as there was, a blot upon its escnlclieon. let them bear in mind who left that blot there. The truth should be spoken it was England herself (cheers).

Since his friend advocated the cause of the slave in America fifteen years ago, a great and wonderfnl change had been effected in public opinion in that country upon that question, and he doubted not the time was near approaching when America would indeed be the land of the free" (cheers). That that time miglit speedily arrive wss, he knew, the earnest wish of every Christian and every true-born Englishman. The period was also ooming when in this country, too, the rulers mast yield; for justice, constitutional rights, the will of the grtat body of the people would compel them. The National Reform Association had been accused again and again, as a middle class, of not wishing well to the industrious classes; but he repudiated the charge (cheers). If thay had tver harboore.i such a thought for one moment, let them henceforth repudiate it, and vie with one another who should be foremost in pro-moting their great object the equal rights of every man in the country (loud cheers), 1 The People's Anthem was then sung, and encored.

Mr. Slack next addressed the assembly, congratulating the friends of democratic reform upon the presence of so Urge a number of ladies, which he regarded an an augury and a precursor of the success of their great cause. Song, Mrs. Temph The Meeting of the Nations," which was loudly applauded. Mr.

fcreorge Thompson then rose and introduced to the meeting his friend Mr. William Wells Brown, a fugitive slave from the United States, at the same time observing that he considered it a privilege and an honour to sit side by side on the same platform, in England's metropolis, with one of the down-trodden children of that great, bat guilty country (immense cheering). Mr. Brown, who was received with loud cheers, said that at the time Mr. Thompson visited the United States, fifteen years ago, he (Mr.

Brown) was in chains as a slave; and though, on that occasion, his friend waa driven forth from the shores of America, the seed he then sowed had borne much fruit, and a gret change had since taken pUce in the popular mind upou the subject of slavery. Although the newly-enacted Fugitive Slave Bill gave power to the slaveowners to pursne their fugitive slaves into the free states, yet he undertook to say that they would not dare to visit Boston on such an errand (lond cheers). Let the United States pass their fugitive slave laws, however, if they pleased; thre was still one spot in America where the slave would be free, and protected from the slave-hunter he alluded to the British possessions in the north, Canada (cheers). At this moment there were in Canada between 25,000 and 30,000 runaway slaves like himself, who had fled from the stars and stripes and sought refuge under the Union Jack (loud cheers). He was delighted in being privileged to appear at that meeting; for he liad still a mother, three brothers, and one sister in slavery.

lie felt confident that the approaching visit of Air. Thompson to the United States would not be without its effect upon the slavery question; and ultimately, he prayed that it would have an effect upon the condition of those whom he held so dear (loud cheers). Addresses bavin? been delivered by Mr. Thwaites and Mr. Serle, Farewell to a Friend of the People," was sung by MisB Cabitt, and au encore demanded and complied with.

Mr. Thompson next rose, and was greeted with prolonged cheering. He said that 20 years ago it was his lot to be engaged in the anti-slavery cause. That work had been done, and he cherished memorials of the gratitude of those who witnessed and were sharers in his labours. They had offered him the means of studying for the bar, and promised him the aid of the best living lawyers.

His family would have been provided for, until he might be able to support them. He had all bat chosen that profession, and had, in fact, determined in whose office he would commence his preparatory studies, when a glorious beam visited this country from the shores of America and if no other man lived in that land he would speak well of it for his sake. His virtues, the cousecration of his almost angelic powers for 20 years to the canse of the slave, redeemed America, in his estimation, from unmitigated reproach. She bad given breath to William Lloyd Qarrison (loud cheers). And he had multiplied himself so that he (Mr.

Thompson) would find his name Legion" when neat he visited America; and for his sake he honoured America, who called that man her child. When Mr. Garrison quitted the shores of Enicland, and he (Mr. Thompson) bade him adieu, he then resolved to say, Farewell the British bar, if I can but serve the ouseof down-trodden humanity!" (cheers.) The Americans knew (hat he took no silver or gold from them when he was in their country. Hia labours were free.

He shared their hospitality. He was taken, not only to their homes, but to their hearts. And, talk of persecution, he would live it through again and again, a thousand times over, to spend one hour of the intercourse which he had enjoyed with the noblest men and women in the world (cheers). Forgive America He thanked America, for having developed in tlie New Euglaud states minds worthv of their descent from the pilgrims who landed from the Mayflower on Plymouth rook (uproarious cheering). Let them not despair of America.

The valley of the Mississippi was not going to be the grave of freedom, nor the Rooky Mountains her funereal monument, nor the roaring Niagara her funereal dirte (loud cheers). The land of Franklin, of Washington, of Adams, of Haneock, of Warren, and last, but not least, of Garrison, would yet cast this polluted thing ont of the camp" Consign it to remorseless fire.

The speaker then referred to the various public questions in which he had taken an active part, and next proceeded to say that he had never been what was termed a stipendiary demagogue." After 20 years of unceasing labour he now declared that he had never made a bargaiu iu bis life, and that he had not received one shilling of the people's money (cheers). He dvfied all England to point to the hour when he had entered into a pecuniary compact with reference to the advocacy of any cause he had ever espoused. He bad lived whilst he laboured. He received 200.

In the course of the proceedings at the corporation yesterday, the Lord Mayor requested Mr. Carolin, who was standing at the fire, to take his seat. Mr. Curolin. I will not.

Lord Mayer. Vou must sit down, sir. Mr. will not. I suppoee you will now send for the police.

Lord Mayor. I require you te ts.ke your seat, sir. Mr. Carolin. If you wish to this a personal matter you will find me a gentlemanlike opponent in any cause; but you shall not dictate to me either to sit down or stand.

If was giving annoyanoe, or causing any interruption, I would sit down at once. Lord Mayor. I do not intend to make it a personal matter; but I ask you to take your seat. Mr. Carolin.

For what object Lord Mayor. I again req uire you to take your seat. Mr. Carolin. 1 will not do so.

Lord Mayor. If yon do not, I shall dissolve this council. Mr. MCartby said that unless perfect silence was observed they could not hear the proceedings. Lord Mayor.

It waa merely for the sake of preserving order that I called Councillor Carotin to order, when I found him speaking to two or three members. Mr. Carolin. Why, then, did you not call them to order? Alderman Keshan said it was quite usual for three or more members to stand at the fire. Lord Mayor.

Then, do I understand you to advocate this system of disorder, aud object to my insisting that every member shall be seated while another is speaking! Alderman Keshan. 1 would be the last person to encourage disorder; but I state that it is a general practice for two or ofteu six members to stand at the fire. Lord Mayor. 1 again ask Councillor Carolin to take bkr seat. Mr.

Carolin. I prefer standing. Xord Mayor. I insist upon yon taking your seat; Mr. Dunne said that as Councillor Carolin was only standing at the fire, and not interrupting tbe proceedings, it would be better to pass it over.

Lord Mayor. I merely asked Councillor Carolin to take his seat, because I considered that he was interrupting Councillor Burke who waa speaking, and be peremptorily refused to do so, and asked me to make tbe matter personal, which I declined doing, and as he has refused I will not press the matter more. The following letter from Sir T. Redington was read Dublin Castle, Oct. 11,1860.

"Sir, I have to inform you, with reference to your letter of tbe 9tb instant, that tbe Lord Lieutenant is about to appoint the several barristers who are to revise the burgess roll in the respective wards of the city of Dublin, and of which appointments, when completed, you shall receive due notice, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. N. Redinoton. William Ford, Town Clerk of the Borongh of Dubbin." It was then proposed and agreed to that the letter should be inserted on the minutes. Mr.

Butler moved that a deputation be appointed to proceed at once to the Castle, as suggested by the Lord Mayor. Mr. Wauohob. There must be a week's notice for that motion. Mr.

Butler said it was not necessary. A lively discussion ensued. The majority of the council appeared to be opposed to the supposed intention of the Lord Lieutenant to appoint so many as 15 revising barristers, which would entail a heavy tax upou the city. A deputation, consisting of the Lord Mayor and four other members of the council, was appointed to proceed to the Castle and have an interview with the Under Secretary. The deputation went on their mission accordingly, and after some time returned.

ii The Lord Mayor said it became his duty to report the result of their interview with Sir T. Redington. He, at the request of the members by whom he was accompanied, asked that gentleman if the reports that were in circulation with reference to the appointment of 15 barristers was true or not, and if it was, they, as the representatives of the ratepayers, protected against it; first, because it would create unnecessary expense; and secondly, it put the public to great inconvenience; and it would be totally impossible to revise the burgess roll under such an arrangement. He then reminded him that in 1841 the revision by 15 br-ristrs cost 1800., and tbe number of votes was only whilst in the following year 21,000 were adjndt-eated upon by tbe Lord Mayor and his two assessors at an expense of 157 making a difference of 17001-(hear); and of the undertaking entered by Mr. Hatchell when the Dublin Improvement Bill was passing, he simply answered that the Lord Lieutenant waa empowered by law to make the appointments; that he waa not bound by any contract, aud he did not bear of any.

He then asked the Under Secretary if be would have any objection to ascertain when it would be his excellency's convenience to give them an audience, and he said not Now he did not know whether they would succeed, but he presumed they wonld, inasmuch as the Lord Lieutenant was a man of common seore. He believed his high station and feeling of justice might or would induce him to exercise bis sound judgment, and they would explain the unnecessary expense of the arrangement, and prove the attempt that is being made to swamp the voice of the majority of the people in the Town Council. He will not lend the sanction of his high name to suoh a proceeding. Mr. Dunne said be remarked to Sir Thomas Hedington that if the proceeding waa entered npon the expense could only be defrayed by a borough rate, which ought to be avoided.

-u u4 J.n i Alderman Tasgart thought Mr. Dunne should state tb answers to his remark. Mr. Dunne. Sir Thomas Redington said he was sorry for it, and that it was likely there would be more borough rates put on and he was himself sometimes slow to pay taxes if they could be done without.

JIv" 1 4mn The Town Clerk observed that tbe; fifteen barristers were appointed. The council then adjourned. hiohwat koduert and assault. On Saturday morning, Mr. John Pet nam, residing at BaT.

The market has been somewhat like the season of the year, dull and heavy; and the amount of business transacted has been more limited. We have bad a quiet wool market also, though there has not been much doing, former prices having been fully maintained. Macclksfiklo, Oct.

15. There is less animation perceptible amongst tbe manufacturers here, but this is accounted for by the circumstance that we are now between the seasons, when it is invariably a dull time, generally taken advantage of by the manufacturer to make an alteration of styles, which alteration, we understand, is being carried out with considerable spirit by some of our leading houses. The throwsters continue well supplied with work, and all the mills are in full operation. In some quarters scarcity of hands is felt. No increase in stocks is perceptible.

Iu the raw silk market there is no alteration from our last. The clearances oontinue on an unprecedentedly large scale, which gives every firm tone to tbe market. Huddkrsfjeld, Oct. 15. The demand for fancy woollens and the better class of plain woollens continues to be rather slow in our markets.

We have had many buyers in the town to-day, but the exchanges have not been heavy. Fancies of the newest styles, and thick checks for tbe home trade, are tbe most in demand at present. Tbe ebipping trade has been dull, with the exception of one or two American houses. Yarns are in good request. Low wools oontinue to maintain a good price.

Leeds, Oct. 15. On Saturday last there was a good attendance of buyers at the hall, and a fair amount of goods suitable for the winter season were shown but to-day the markets have been dull. Stocks still continue low, and prices are firm. Incendiary Fire.

Between the hours of two and three o'clock on Saturday morning last, a fire broke out in the parish of Kirtling, Cambridgeshire, on the premises of Mr. James Pettit, farmer, of that place, which consumed a barn, fortunately detached from other buildings, iu which it originated, a quantity of thrashed corn in the chaff, some straw, a dressing machine, and other implements. A grocer's shop within a few yards of the barn. In the occupation of Mr. Day, was also iu imminent danger, but the gable end of the barn being of brickwork was evidently the means of preserving it from the flames.

We regret to add that it was the act of an incendiary. Turn-out at Pakk-i-lace Mill, Blackburne. On Monday last, at tbe Sessions-room, 2i persons, employed at the millof MeasraJames Pilkington, William Pilkington, 11 ward Ecoles, and John Baynes, were charged with having left their woik without having given a month's notice, in accordance with the rules of the mill. It appeared from tbe evidence of the general manager, overlookers, that on Wednesday morning last, a man named Plummer (a temporary hand), was discharged, and that another self-acting minder (Grimes) left the factory of his own accord, but not until he had received a reprimand for suddenly stopping his machinery, in conjunction with several other workmen. Mr.

Roberts, of Manchester, who was advocate for the defendants, contended that the real grievance was that the hands were obliged to commence work in a morning, five, ten, fifteen, and even twenty minutes before six o'cloek. Such a practice, be argued was quite contrary to law and if the men would act according to his advice, they would not start a second, nor tbe millionth part of a second before six, in future. Mr. Roberts then commentad, in severe terms, upon the alleged non-reciprocity of the rules posted in the mill, contending that as they bound the men to certain regulatioas, and not the masters, they were illegal; and, therefore, were not binding upon his clients. The magistrate (Thoiaas Dugdale, Esq after consulting with the clerk (Mr.

H. B. Hollins-head), coincided with the opinion expressed as to the illegality of the rules, and the case was consequently dismissed, the bench recommending at the same time, that the men should return to their work, and endeavour to keep on amicable.tsrma with their employers.
